Initially my van began with a simple engine stall and total electrical failure while driving down the highway. The check engine light came on and the van was taken to the dealer to explore the problem. Multiple codes were found and were fixed which included coils, O2 sensors, fuel pump control module and several other things. Then a few days after picking the van up from the shop it had another engine stall while driving and check engine light. After taking it to the auto shop we informed of additional codes and problems which include catalytic converters, new battery, new alternator, and other things. Picked the vehicle from dealer and a few hours later the engine light came on along with engine stall while driving. I took it back to the dealer and I report problems with poor engine performance vehicle misfiring, rough running, poor fuel performance, check engine light, several engine stalls. Dealer diagnosed the van with needing a new Powertrain Control Module. Repairs were completed and upon picking the van up from the dealer the van wouldn't start, and dealer diagnosed the van with a bad fuel pump. To date we have spent over 30K in repairs, nearly 4 vehicle accidents due to engine failures, over 4 vehicle tow's, 5 battery replacements, and the van is currently awaiting new fuel pump replacement.

What owners say
2015 ford transit presents with no start condition lose of fuel and code p0230 on further diagnosis found engine compartment fuse box to have multiple fuse terminals loose from the board. To be clear these do not appear as fuses loose from the terminal they go in, this is the terminal seems loose from the circuit board. Either way the effect is the same, causing them to lose power intermittently including the fuel pump creating a no start and or die while driving condition potentially causing loss of steering. Have video documenting the condition as well as two pictures included showing voltage fluctuating..
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford transit. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the failure was diagnosed as a fuel module and fuel pump that needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated he received an unknown manufacturer recall notice several days later and was upset that he was not notified that recalls were repaired free of charge. The manufacture was notified of the failure. The contact was not provided an explanation about the reimbursement policy. The approximate failure mileage was 112,760.
The vehicle randomly developed hesitation to start one day as if it wasn't getting enough fuel or air. It did start and I drove home from work. I planned to take it to a dealership to get it checked out but the next day but the vehicle would not start. I attempted to jump-start but the battery was at full voltage. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they diagnosed the car. I was informed the next day by the technician that there was a tsb about this issue and that ford motor company was well aware of the problem and that it would cost me $850 plus tax. Apparently the cabin air filter is not properly weather sealed and under normal use water will make its way into the filter, and into the mass air sensor. Ford has made new replacement parts for this issue but because I am out of warranty by a few months, I will have to pay for the entirety of the bill. Had the part given out while driving (especially at high speeds) the engine would seize and could have likely caused a crash.
While im driving it shuts off while driving like the fuel stops going to engine.and sometimes it wont start while stationary.all eletric comes on but just turns over .again like no fuel going in.note I just bought it 3 months ago.stalls about 6 times a week .almost got hit by trucks because of it
